During the pandemic, major publishers like Elsevier or Springer made COVID‑19 research freely available. This enabled rapid knowledge sharing, faster collaboration, and stronger global coordination. It showed the true power of #OpenScience. Let’s not go backwards.

Reframing the Concept “Predatory Journal” | OpenScienceLab

OpenScienceLab @opensciencelab.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

For us, a journal simply becomes predatory when it seeks profit by charging APCs (Article Processing Charges). For these journals, financial gain becomes the priority, and the value of academic work takes a backseat. 👇
